Question: does chemical or physical castration prevent the desire to re-offend? Is this a possibility (for those who agree to it as a term of their release)?

I don't think chemical or physical castration reduces the _desire_ to offend, although it may hamper the _ability_ - Not from what I've read (and I'll have to dig for the supporting information on it)

IMHO, anyone who steals a child's innocence shouldn't see the light of day again. I wouldn't say they should be put to death, but instead left to be 'dealt with' by the general prison population - who has very little tolerance for those who hurt children.
